Introduction
The landscape of residential living is undergoing a significant transformation with the adoption of cutting-edge technology. DXYZ Corporation, a subsidiary of Migaro Holdings, has announced its collaboration with Sense Trust, a prominent player in the real estate sector. Together, they will integrate the facial recognition ID platform, FreeiD, into all apartments developed by Sense Trust. This pioneering initiative is aimed at creating entirely 'face-recognition apartments', a first for the Kansai region in Japan.
The Significance of FreeiD
FreeiD is a state-of-the-art facial recognition ID platform designed to converge the physical and digital realms. This innovative technology facilitates seamless interactions for residents, allowing them to access their homes, make payments, and verify their identity through a single facial registration. No more fumbling for keys or wallets—residents can now simply use their faces as their ID. This initiative promises to enhance the convenience, security, and overall living experience in multifamily residential complexes.
Background and Implementation
The idea behind FreeiD is to ensure that every aspect of residential living—from entrances to elevators and individual units—can be accessed without traditional keys. As of August 2025, over 251 buildings have already incorporated the FreeiD technology, setting a benchmark for modern apartment living.
The “All-Face Recognition Apartments”
Among the new projects, the forthcoming apartment complex at Higashinari-ku, Deep South 1-chome, is set to be the first of its kind to feature the FreeiD system extensively. Not only will this ensure enhanced security, but it will also significantly elevate the convenience of living for residents, making everyday interactions smoother.
Commentary from Sense Trust
Kazuhito Imanaka, the President of Sense Trust, expressed his enthusiasm for the initiative by stating, "The introduction of a facial recognition system not only enhances security but also improves the living convenience for residents and boosts property values. The integration of 'All-Face Recognition Apartments' in the Kansai area allows us to differentiate our properties significantly from competitors. Hence, we have decided to implement this technology in all future developments. Our commitment is to provide high-quality apartments that meet evolving customer needs."
DXYZ's Vision
Sei Nakanishi, President of DXYZ, echoed similar sentiments, expressing pride in partnering with Sense Trust to standardize the FreeiD technology across their developments. Nakanishi noted, "We are dedicated to providing a living experience devoid of traditional keys, enhancing the secure management of apartment complexes while delivering added value to residents. Our goal is to offer services that residents desire and demand." He envisions a future where residents can enjoy the conveniences of FreeiD not just at home but across various urban settings.
Future Developments
Looking ahead, Sense Trust and DXYZ plan to implement FreeiD in additional projects such as the upcoming properties in Higashinada and Hokkou. These future developments will not only feature advanced security but will also maintain a focus on meeting the high standards set by both companies.
Conclusion
The collaboration between DXYZ and Sense Trust marks a significant leap in the real estate landscape, combining security technology with lifestyle enhancements. As the demand for innovative and convenient living spaces grows, this partnership aims to lead the way in fostering smart city solutions that integrate the digital world with everyday life. The possibilities are exciting, paving the way for a new era in residential living.
